Club de Niños

Tomorrow (Friday) is our first Club de Niños up in Los Guido. As part of our partnership with Food for the Hungry, Tracey and I are continuing the kids' club they have once a week before the church serves lunch for the kids in the community. Yesterday we went up and met a lot of the kids and invited them to the club. They all seemed pretty excited. Unfortunately because of the rotating school schedule, a lot of kids we talked to have class in the morning. We are trying to figure out a way to hold another session of the club after lunch for the kids who go to school in the morning. (Something you could be praying for) Over the past few weeks we've been working on curriculum and activities to share with the kids. I am really excited about our theme for the first 2 months-- Psalm 139, looking at all the aspects of how special God made each one of us. Many of these kids come from home situations where they don't get to hear how precious and special they really are. As a result, it affects almost every aspect of their lives: school, friends, life dreams, the way the treat others and themselves. I pray that through our time together, they can start to see themselves the way God created them.
